After changing careers, I became the number one player in basketball

March 30, the capital of racing and the city of basketball, Indianapolis.

RCA Dome Stadium sat without any absentees.

When Shay stood on the court warming up, he couldn't believe what he saw in front of him.

You know, the size of the RCA Dome is larger than the NBA team's competition venue.

Take the local NBA team the Pacers as an example. The Pacers’ home stadium, Market Square Arena, has a capacity of less than 20,000 people.

The RCA Arena can accommodate 60,000 people!

Moreover, the place was completely full!

Now Shay is facing three times the number of spectators and three times the shouts of an NBA game!

This is probably due to the extremely high popularity of the NCAA Final Four.

The residents of Indianapolis are already obsessed with basketball, so it is easy to fill a stadium with 60,000 people.

And among the 60,000 people, there were also many big names.

For example, Knicks star Patrick Ewing and this season’s favorite to win the championship, Mike Joe!

Jordan happened to be playing a game against the Pacers tomorrow, so he stopped by to watch his alma mater's semi-final match.

Ewing worked even harder. After watching the game today, he had to fly back to New York overnight to prepare for tomorrow's game.

But in front of my alma mater, it's all worth it.

Apart from that, maybe only the gold club would make Ewing linger so much.

Most Georgetown players were excited after seeing Ewing on the big screen.

Ewing is equivalent to a spiritual pillar for most people.

But Shay sighed when he saw Ewing.

It's a pity, it's a pity, why didn't the final four games be played in Atlanta?

If we play in Atlanta and win, Captain Orangutan will definitely take us to experience what it feels like to be an adult!

Hey, if we play in this cornfield, we will have to lose several hundred million in output tonight.

Ewing and Jordan both lost their status as professional players today and put on T-shirts and baseball caps representing the colors of their alma maters.

Cheering with all the fans in the stands.

The appearance of Ewing and Jordan also made the atmosphere of the war more intense.

The last time Georgetown and North Carolina faced off in an official game, Jordan started his legendary journey with a buzzer-beater.

That is also one of the most famous buzzers in NCAA history.

After all, that was the one shot that decided the championship.

Whether North Carolina continues its glory or Georgetown avenges its past humiliation depends on tonight.

Although the battle in 1982, except for the two coaches, none of the people present had experienced it personally.

But after all, it is a shame passed down from our ancestors, and it is engraved in DNA.

So everyone at Georgetown University was on a high before the game started today, eager to avenge the previous humiliation.

If I could win the game in front of Jordan, the initiator of the game's buzzer beater, I would feel relieved just thinking about it!

The game is about to begin, and the starting five players from both sides are all in place.

North Carolina's starters from one to five are Kim Rice, Hubert Davis, George Lynch, Rick Fox and Pete Chilcutt.

Although there were no future NBA stars in this starting lineup, four of them would survive in the NBA for a long time.

Not to mention Fox and George Lynch, one is an OK teammate and the other is a teammate of Iverson. Shea, who has been watching the game since then, is naturally very familiar with them.

Hubert Davis and Chilkat also played in the NBA for 12 and 9 years respectively.

This means that they will all be capable of establishing themselves in the NBA in the future.

Although they are not stars, the starting four can become the main rotation in the NBA, which shows how balanced this team is.

Everyone can shoot, everyone can pass, but everyone is not a superstar who sticks to the ball.

Dean Smith stood on the sidelines and flipped the switch for this sophisticated offensive machine!

At the start of the game, Mutombo got the ball as always.

After Shay held the ball past half-court, as an offensive arrow, he did not hesitate and rushed deep.

George Lynch, like everyone before him, could not resist Shay's impact.

But after all, he is also a strong defensive player on the NBA forward line in the future, so he will not be directly knocked away by Shea.

Shay still has a physical advantage over Lynch, but it's no longer a crushing physical advantage.

The semi-finals are indeed not that simple.

Before he could completely get rid of George Lynch, the experienced Rick Fox immediately double-teamed him.

Shay was forced to stop, so he prepared to turn sideways and put the ball behind him, protecting the ball first and then passing it.

But just when Shea turned sideways with the ball and crossed Fox's eyes with his elbow, Fox suddenly fell back like a ghost!

Shay was looking confused, but the referee immediately called an offensive foul!

Shay:???

Damn it, I didn’t touch him at all!

Although Shea's previous hit on Larry Johnson was classified as an accidental fall by the Sports Commission, the referee did not think so.

They have already labeled Shay a "bad boy" in their hearts.

So I have been on the key testing list for a long time.

Seeing Shea swinging his elbow and Fox falling to the ground, the referee blew the whistle without thinking.

In this era, replay technology is not that developed, so there is no situation where referees watch replays and then make decisions.

The call was made, and on the first attack, Shea lost the ball.

Shay looked at the referee fiercely, you are blind and still insist on working, how inspiring!

At the same time, Shea also understood why Rick Fox could change his career to make art films.

Your boy has been studying acting since college.

Fox has always been a very tough player with a very high basketball IQ.

Things like flopping are easy to do.

Now it's North Carolina's offense, and Shea is responsible for guarding the opposite No. 2 position Hubert Davis, who is North Carolina's second-highest scorer.

Seeing Shea defending him, Davis stood in the corner, put his hands on his hips, and started watching the show.

"grass!"

Shay cursed secretly, knowing that he was being walked.

After getting rid of Shea, the strongest defensive point on the perimeter, the rest of North Carolina began to cooperate.

Point guard Kim Rice and Fox played a pick-and-roll. After the pick-and-roll, Fox did not follow the ball, but bounced outside the three-point line.

This made Mourning afraid to cover up Rice, so in the end Chichwell had to cover up the ball.

But the next second, Rice hit the ground and passed the ball to George Lynch.

Temporarily unmarked, he raised his hand and dropped his knife from outside the three-point line, and the basketball hit the net!

North Carolina used a series of beautiful combinations to open up the space and seize the opportunity.

I have to say that Dean Smith does understand tactics, and he brings out the characteristics of the players in his hands.

Moreover, it also cleverly avoided the three major defensive strengths of Shea, Mourning and Mutombo.

Jordan looked at Shay, who was frowning, and smiled disdainfully.

Let your boy go crazy with me!

This afternoon, when Jordan heard from reporters that "Jordan is also a human being, not a god, he cannot have everything under control," his lungs exploded with anger.

What? Now a kid from the NCAA dares to comment on me at will?

How could Jordan, who was extremely competitive, stand this, so he immediately told reporters:

"I said North Carolina can win if it can win. If it can't win, I'll lose five thousand dollars to Shay!"

The old gambler immediately made a bet.

He just wants to tell Shay that I am really the god of basketball!

Now seeing that his alma mater has started so smoothly, can Danzi not be happy?

Today, I will win against Shay!

Of course, a three-pointer won't discourage Georgetown.

It doesn't matter if you fall behind, just attack back.

But this time Georgetown University's offense was interrupted again by the referee's whistle.

"What? The referee called another offensive foul on Georgetown?

The referee said that Mourning hit someone with the ball when he was driving to the basket!"

The on-site commentators found it unbelievable, and Mourning spread his hands like a king:

"I didn't do it!"

Fox lay on the ground and smiled slightly.

Originally I wanted to be an actor, but I had no choice but to change careers because I was too tall. As a result...

After changing careers, I became the number one flopper in the basketball world!

"I'm holding you in my arms, Old Mu. How much did you buy? You're bragging!" John Thompson also cursed on the sidelines and said some quintessence of American culture.

But no amount of scolding could change anything, and the ball was once again given to North Carolina.

Shay looked at the referee and gritted his teeth.

It seems that I need to show off my professional skills!

When North Carolina was attacking, Kim Rice took possession of the ball and saw Hubert Davis running 45 degrees to the right. At that time, Shea let Davis go for two steps.

So, he passed the ball to Davis.

However, Shea deliberately let Davis go, just to lure him to pass the ball!

The moment Rice passed the ball, Shea immediately started, pounced on Davis, stretched out his arm, and intercepted the ball midway!

Dean Smith was shocked. Shea's defensive range was really terrifying. He could destroy the pass even if he took two steps.

Fortunately, Shay only poked the basketball and failed to catch the ball directly.

The basketball was stabbed by Shea and flew out of bounds, and flew towards the referee who had just called Georgetown two fouls!

"Ah this..."

Before the referee could react, the basketball hit him hard in the face!

Mourning felt...Shay stabbed in that direction on purpose!

If it was just doubting Shay before, then Shay later confirmed that he did it on purpose!

After the basketball hit the referee's head and bounced back, Shay had already rushed forward, preparing to save the ball.

In fact, according to traditional basketball rules at this time, the ball has already hit the referee's head and is considered out of bounds.

But Shay "couldn't stop the car" now. He jumped up high, grabbed the basketball with one hand, and then slammed the ball down.

And underneath, is the referee's head.

When saving the ball, you were too hasty and failed to control the direction of the pass. Is this normal?

With a "boom" sound, Shea jumped into the air and hit the referee's head with the ball. He hit the referee's head twice with a wave of silky small moves, knocking the referee unconscious to the ground.

After it was over, Shay squatted next to the referee pretending to be very concerned: "Wow, you're not dead, are you?"

"Pfft!" Uncle Mu couldn't help but chuckle, "Shay, ah, Shay, you can always come up with new tricks for me!"

The referee was hit hard twice by a basketball. He was dizzy for a while and could not stand up.

Anyone who has been hit hard on the head by a basketball knows how uncomfortable it feels.

In desperation, the referee had to be replaced.

Shea watched the substitute referee come on and nodded in relief.

It doesn't matter if the referee is blind, just ask them to change.

Can't every referee be so blind?

In this wave, Shay created the only referee-changing tactic in basketball tactics!

The referee matter has been resolved, but the crisis has not yet been resolved.

Shay adjusted his mentality and stopped thinking about the referee.

Next, we have to smash North Carolina's perfect offensive machine!
